As usual, we met at the commuter parking lot near the intersection of I-376 and South Braddock Ave in Edgewood, and from there, packed three vehicles with four occupants in each and reached the parking area from where to start the hike up the mountain to where the cave entrance is located.
We had three non-adults, Luca, Peer, and Tyler, which kept the group animanted, and other outdoorsy folks that shared interests in running, hiking, mt biking.
At the cave entrance, we met a camp counselor that told us that a group of kids was already in the cave.
In the cave, we crawled and explored side passages, and finally found the mud room. In the mud room, those with artistic talents went on and created mud sculptures, a crocodile, an elephant, a sun dial.
Towards the end of the cave trip, we stopped by the Birth Canal, where we all took turns into crawling through it. As one person commented, with the obesity epidemic, that tight crawl is going to get wider and wider, as more people scraping a millimeter here and there on the passage's walls will make it inevitably wider.
To exit the cave, we took the original entrance, a tight vertical opening.
